Job overview

Is it your passion to work creatively with children, young people and families?

Our Specialist Youth team covering  East/Central  Suffolk have an exciting opportunity for a Community Mental Health Practitioner to join their existing team.

Ideally, you'll have experience and skills in working with young people and their families and carers. CAMHS experience would be especially welcome and as would knowledge of attachment, child development and working systemically.   Consideration will be given to those on ASYE.

We continue to develop our care model to be more aligned with the needs of the local communities. This has created opportunities to not only recognise and consolidate what we are doing well, but also to drive creativity in radically changing service delivery.  As such, this provides many opportunities for successful applicants to play a key role in bringing about positive change and making a difference, not only at an individual, family or team level, but in shaping the future direction of our services.

Our dedicated team is relatively small and is compassionate and responsive. There are processes to review our work, to develop areas of good practice, therapeutic skills and support learning and development of staff.

Main duties of the job

The team has been developing ways of working which help to identify the types of needs that arise for young people and their families and channel resources appropriately.

We are confident that being part of our team would enable you to be the Registered Nurse you trained, and would like, to be. This role will offer you the time and facilities to make a difference.

Managing and assessing risk is a large part of our role and as a team we robustly make decisions in complete collaboration with all systems.

As a band 5 / Newly qualified Nurse/Social Worker/Mental Health Occupational Therapists you will be supported in your development and if required preceptorship. You will have exposure to lots of further training and development within a compassionate and highly skilled team
